Watched Moon this morning. Seen it before. Good film.
Now half way through Greed with Steve Coogan. Despite the bad reviews, I’m enjoying it so far.

The War Zone directed by Tim Roth (1999)
98 min18 Certificate
Radio Times review
by Jason Caro
Actor Tim Roth makes a stunning directorial debut with this distressingly believable story about incest in a close-knit family, dramatised by Alexander Stuart from his acclaimed novel. Young newcomers Freddie Cunliffe and Lara Belmont give supremely natural performances, while Ray Winstone portrays their abusive father as no Nil by Mouth monster, but as a loving parent. Roth also makes inspired, emotive use of the stark, jagged Devon landscapes, whose grey-hued coldness seems to mirror the pain experienced by the characters, and turns an already uncomfortable viewing experience into an utterly devastating one.
This was the film director Tim Roth later admitted he should never have made...

Apparently (after reading this). Roth is a survivor of child sexual abuse, committed by his paternal grandfather, who he has stated sexually abused him from childhood until his early teen years. He first revealed that he was a victim of sexual abuse during press for his 1999 directorial debut, The War Zone, a film which dealt with the topics of incest and sexual violence within a family, but declined to name the perpetrator at that time. In December 2016, he gave an interview to the British newspaper The Guardian in which he revealed that his abuser was his grandfather, who had also sexually abused Roth's own father when he was a child.

Benson and Moorhead continue to be two of the most interesting directors working at the moment
Fascinating emotional sci-fi

Just watched Netflix’s Beyond The Wire...... typical of these type of films they are churning out really, holds your attention, entertaining but nothing to get excited about. Bit similar quality to the likes of The Old Guard, 6 Underground, Peppermint, Bright etc etc they are producing really. Fair play to Netflix IMO, they keep throwing these out in the absence of any Hollywood blockbusters. They’re clearly lower budget but with little else to do in lock down they provide a distraction for a couple of hours at least....

To this day, some of the scenes still haunt me... So in that regard it's a very powerful movie, but maybe not a movie for a seemingly young and innocent teenage boy to be viewing! lol
So sticking in the same genre, I watched this during the week:
It's what you'd call a psychological horror.
After watching it I thought it was an okay film, but it wasn't until days after when I started thinking about the overall theme of the movie, and how the main protagonist's character develops and evolves through the course of the plot, that I realized that it's a actually a pretty well put together film.
